Beechwood is a historic neighborhood two miles from Downtown Rochester. Named after the famous Beech-Nut baby food company that was once located in the neighborhood, Beechwood continues to elegantly balance the old and new. The charming neighborhood features classic architectural elements like gumwood trim and stained-glass windows while offering rentals with renovated modern interiors. This close-knit neighborhood has an active neighborhood association and is filled with non-profits, art organizations, and locally owned shops and restaurants.
Because Beechwood neighbors Downtown Rochester, residents have easy access to a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Residents love walking to the Public Market for fresh produce and specialty foods. This public market has been a city tradition since 1905, featuring more than 300 vendors. Local florists, cafes, and breweries also set up shop on the market grounds. The Hungerford building on East Main Street houses the studios of many Beechwood artists and opens to the general public twice a month while several theaters nearby offer even more entertainment.

This is a good area and the people in this area are very friendly and polite. Also, I see this area being a good area for years to come to come because it's quiet and everyone gets along.

This area is horrible. People get shot or killed all the time in this area as well as on my street. I even helped a kid that was shot right in front of my house. I just want to go to school for my LPN so that I can get my children in a better place. I feAR leaving my house at times because you never know if someone is shooting outside.
